Japanese Doll Festival at the Portland Japanese Garden Recap

Despite the rainy/snowy cold weather, I was busy having an origami Hina doll making workshop at the Japanese Garden last Saturday. And thanks to my helper it went pretty smoothly. Making dolls and flowers with pretty colors of paper make me feel girlie. It was fun!

Here is what my Hina doll diorama looked like...

Lolipop heads and bead eyes... but everything else made of paper.

In the pavilion where I had the workshop, they also had displays of beautiful seven-tiered Hina dolls, as well as some artworks (watercolor paintings and ikebana flower arrangements).
